Duties and Responsibilities 

• Assist in baselining and measuring the current PRF workflow using available system/process data (e.g., cycle time, queue time, rework indicators, handoffs, and aging). 

• Evaluate how PRFs move through multiple stakeholders. 

• Identify & analyze bottlenecks, patterns, variability drivers, and common roadblocks across handoffs. 

• Segment work by meaningful categories (e.g., request type, complexity, required review groups) to identify patterns in delay and rework. 

• Partner with internal stakeholders (Procurement and cross-functional teams) to understand “work-as-done,” validate findings, and uncover constraints. 

• Support targeted improvement opportunities such as: reducing waiting/queues and rework loops; improving intake quality / “right-first-time” inputs; identifying standard work opportunities and decision rules; making the process more measurable and transparent. 

• Produce clear deliverables and findings; prioritized improvement opportunities with estimated impact and feasibility. 

• Performs other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
